BELMONT  PARK  OFFICIAL  SOUVENIR. 


INTRODUCTORY. 


It  is  no  stretch  of  imagination  to  say  that  Behnont  Park,  the  future  "Home  of  the 
Thoroughbred,"  for  which  The  Westchester  Racing  Association  stands  sponsor,  is  the  most 
magnificent  race-course  in  the  world. 

Nature,  money  and  brains  have  been  united  into  a  combination  which  has  given  to  the 
American  pubhc  an  ideal  resort  for  the  "Sport  of  Kings."' 

The  vastness  of  the  grounds,  on  which  are  erected  the  necessary  impressive  buildings,  can 
be  better  appreciated  when  it  is  stated  that  it  is  a  tract  of  land  covering  a  space  of  over  six 
hundred  acres.  This  in  itself  gives  a  faint  idea  of  the  immensity  of  the  undertaking  which 
has  transformed  a  vast  area,  studded  with  trees,  &c.,  and  of  sandy  loam,  into  a  magnificent  roomy 
pleasure  park,  the  like  of  which  no  other  country  can  boast. 

The  entrance  to  the  grounds  proper  is  lined  by  numerous  rhododendrons,  and  is  thickly 
studded,  on  each  side,  with  rows  of  stately  pine  and  chestnut  trees,  which,  in  a  measure, 
prepare  the  visitor  for  the  grandeur  of  what  is  to  come.  The  quaint  old  historic,  castle- 
looking  mansion  to  the  right  of  the  entrance,  nestling  among  the  trees  and  shrubbery,  is  part 
of  the  ancient  Manice  estate,  once  the  property  of  millionaires  of  New  York  and  Long  Island. 

This  mansion,  which  will  be  the  future  home  of  the  exclusive  Turf  and  Field  Club,  and 
which  lies  on  the  outskirts  of  a  wood,  is  surrounded  on  three  sides  with  elaborately  laid-out 
gardens  and  scores  of  hothouses  containing  numerous  rare  plants  of  great  beauty. 

All  events  at  this  race-course  will  be  run  the  reverse  way  to  that  with  which  the  public  is 
familiar,  i.  e.:  all  turns  will  be  made  to  the  right,  in  lieu  of  to  the  left.  This  wise  move  was 
adopted  so  as  to  permit  a  more  advantageous  location  of  the  various  buildings,  and  also  to  fulfill 
the  recjuirements  as  to  the  direction  of  the  sun's  rays.  West  of  the  Grand  Stand,  and  a  few 
feet  beyond  the  finish,  or  judges'  stand,  is 

Which  occupies  a  ground  area  of  10,100  square  feet,  and  is  a  three-story  struc- 
CLUB  HOUSE  ^"'"'^  °^  light-colored  brick  and  Indiana  freestone.  Its  frontage  is  111  feet,  with 
a  depth  of  91  feet.  Two  wide  piazzas  or  observation  balconies  afford  a  grand 
view  of  all  the  tracks  and  grounds.  It  is  most  elaborate  in  its  appointments  and  is,  without  doubt, 
superior  to  any  similar  building  extant.  The  first  floor  contains  a  kitchen,  cafe  and  committee- 
room ;  the  second  floor,  a  ladies'  dining-room,  75x36  feet,  serving-parlor  and  retiring-rooms;  and 
the  third  floor  a  gentlemen's  dining-room,  dormitories,  etc.  A  unique  innovation  consists  of 
two  elevators,  one  for  freight  and  the  other  for  club  members  and  their  guests. 

An  interesting-  historical  feature  to  the  private  entrance,  through  which  the  Club  House  is 
reached,  are  four  obelisks  or  monoliths  which,  for  about  one  hundred  years,  stood  at  the  portals 
of  the  Charleston  (S.  C.)  Jockey  Club  grounds.  These  were  presented  to  Mr.  August  Belmont. 
Inscribed  tablets  have  been  placed  in  the  panels  of  these  columns. 

Built  of  iron,  steel,  brick,  stone  and  cement,  has  a  comfortable  seating  capacity 
CRAND  STAND  ^'^^  Over  11,000  persons,  and  is,  of  course,  the  largest  building  on  the  grounds. 
It  embodies  original  up-to-date  ideas  and  designs  which  are  foreign  to  all  such 
similar  structures.  In  order  that  everyone  should  have  an  uninterrupted  view,  particularly  of 
the  entire  homestretch,  it  is  not  quite  parallel  to  the  track,  but  slopes  slightly  eastward.  Ample 
protection  against  inclement  weather  is  provided  by  an  extension  of  the  roof  31  feet  be3'ond  the 
front  edge.  On  this  roof  are  additional  seating  accommodations,  from  which  a  magnificent  view 
of  the  entire  plant  is  obtained. 

A  novel  feature  is  a  mezzanine  gallerj'  running  along  the  entire  length  of  the  center,  on 
which  is  a  row  of  boxes  with  individual  chairs  for  the  use  of  the  public ;  these,  in  turn,  open  on  to 

[14]

BELMONT  PARK  OFFICIAL  SOUVENIR. 

a  promenade  ( from  eight  to  ten  feet  wide)  which  runs  the  entire  length  of  the  stand.  On  this 
promenade,  but  to  the  rear,  are  the  kitchen,  serving-rooms,  dining-rooms,  waiting-rooms,  storage- 
rooms,  coat-rooms,  ladies'  parlors,  ladies'  ante-rooms,  and  an  emergency-room.  In  connection 
with  the  latter  are  first  aid  appliances  and  trained  nurses. 

There  are  also  additional  private  boxes  for  the  exclusive  use  of  club  members,  which  occupy 
over  100  feet  of  that  portion  of  this  stand  nearest  to  the  Club  House,  the  latter  being  connected 
with  it  by  a  short  span  or  bridge. 

The  ground  floor  is  given  over  to  lunch  counters,  bar,  toilet  retreats  and  police  head- 
quarters, etc. 

In  front  of  and  at  the  easterly  and  westerly  ends  are  depressions  three  feet  deep  by  about 
twenty  feet  wide,  paved  with  concrete.  This  arrangement  is  to  discourage  crowds  from  stand- 
ing directly  in  front  of  the  stand,  as  these  depressions  form  unsatisfactor}'  points  from  which  to 
view  the  races.  The  concreted  ground,  however,  in  the  center  of  the  stand,  slopes  back  gradually 
to  the  Rotunda,  to  which  it  leads.  The  lawn  in  front  of  the  stand  has  a  sloping  tendency  to  the 
main  track,  varying  in  width  from  100  to  150  feet. 

The  nile-green  color  with  which  this  and  the  Field  Stand  are  painted  is  particularly 
effective  and  pleasing. 

_        p  PI  n      ^^^^  directly  east  of  the  Grand  Stand,  and  is  250x95  feet.     It  is  constructed  of 
STAND         steel,  brick  and  concrete,  and  will  hold  4,000  persons.     The  accommodations  are 
somewhat  similar  to  those  on  the  ground  floor  of  the  Grand  Stand.

and  requirements  of  the  stewards,  officials,  horse-owners  and  jockeys. 

The  first  floor  contains  the  secretary's  or  clerk  of  the  course's  room,  fitted  up  after  the  style 
of  a  banking  house;  there  are  also  jockeys' dressing-rooms,  which  contain  116  lockers,  and 
lavatories,  bathrooms,  etc.,  etc.  The  second  floor  is  laid  out  for  the  exclusive  use  of  the 
handicapper.  Jockey  Club  officials,  with  a  very  spacious  Board  room  for  the  Stewards. 

A  broad  balcony  encircles  this  building,  which  commands  a  fine  view  of  the  grounds  and 
surrounding  country. 

THP  <;Anni  iNr  ^^  constructed  of  yellow  pine,  topped  by  a  slanting  slate  roof.  Its  dimensions  are 
PADDOCK  295x83  feet.  It  contains  36  stalls,  18  each  on  the  easterly  and  westerly  sides, 
and  is  charmingly  situated  in  the  center  of  a  number  of  massive  trees,  about  a 
couple  of  hundred  feet  immediately  to  the  rear  of  and  midway  between  the  Club  House  and 
Grand  Stand.  To  and  from  the  track  the  horses  will  traverse  that  portion  of  the  grounds  , 
which  lies  between  the  Club  House  and  Administration  Building. 

Or  public  financial  concourse,  is  a  one-story  structure,  and  is  the  first  which 
ROTUNDA  greets  one  after  entering  the  Park  from  the  trains  or  highway.  Its  approach 
from  the  main  entrance  gates  is  by  a  walk  and  roadway  650  feet  long  by  170 feet 
wide,  which  includes  two  roadways,  a  covered  way  and  a  sidewalk  on  each  side.  The  covered  way 
is  a  cemented  walk  20  feet  wide.  Steps  on  either  side  of  this  building  lead  from  the  entrance 
grounds  to  its  roof,  on  which  are  two  parallel  walks  which,  in  turn,  lead  directly  to  the  Grand 
Stand  (the  latter  is  also  reached  by  either  traversing  or  going  around  the  Rotunda  to  the  lawn 
in  front  of  the  Grand  Stand). 

The  Rotunda  is  built  slightly  under  but  otherwise  clear  of  the  Grand  Stand.  Its  shape  is 
nearly  circular,  2-49x307  feet.  It  affords  superior  roomy  facilities  for  the  purpose  intended, 
and  is  open  on  all  sides.     It  has  concrete  flooring,  and  skylights  to  ensure  ample  light. 

Of  which  at  present  there  are   40,  are  situated  at  the  eastern  and  northwestern 
THE 
STABLES       ^""^^  °^  ^^^  grounds,  and  will  house  between  800  and  1,000  thoroughbreds.     The 

■roof  of  each  extends  14  feet  on  all  sides,  so  as  to  permit  of  horses  exercising  in 

bad  weather.     Sleeping  quarters  for  attendants  and  stable  hands  are  built  over  the  stalls.     There 

are  public  and  private  kitchens  galore.

the  second,  has  a  circuit  of  1%^  miles,  and  is  for  steeplechase  events,  but  which,  in  addition,  is  con- 
nected with  a  couple  of  other  courses  which  wind  at  random,  as  it  were,  over  the  other  three, 
making  it  possible  to  give  jumping  events  of  any  distance.  At  present  there  are  five  hedges,  two 
"Liverpools,"  two  "banks,"  and  one  water  jump,  the  latter  being  immediately  in  front  of  the 
Grand  Stand.  The  finish  in  all  cases  will  begin  from  the  northeasterly  end,  then  south,  into 
the  1%  mile  or  turf  track.    Additional  obstacles  will  be  added  in  the  near  future. 

The  sixth  course  is  of  one  mile,  with  two  slight  extensions,  one  at  the  northwest  end  and 
the  other  at  the  southeast.     It  is  attached  and  tangent  to  the  main  track. 

It  has  been  built  for  the  novel  and  special  use  of  a  training  ground,  and  also  for  the  "trying- 
out"  of  yearlings.  Its  southwesterly  end  connects  with  the  main  track  at  the  latter's  southeast- 
erly point.  Races  for  the  Belmont  Cup  will  start  from  the  southeasterly  extension  up  to  the  north 
turn,  down  its  western  stretch,  then  on  to  the  main  track,  into  the  homestretch  to  the  finish,  a 
distance  of  1%  miles. 

Experts  agree  that  the  original  soil  of  this  land,  a  sandy  loam,  which  has  been  used  in  the 
construction  of  the  three  courses  on  which  flat  races  will  be  run,  will  result  in  ideal  tracks.  The 
soil  being  very  porous,  it  was  not  found  necessary  to  lay  under-drains,  but  "catch  basins"  at 
frequent  intervals  along  the  inner  rails  are  connected  with  the  main  drainage  system. 

Clever  sprinkling  devices  have  been  constructed  for  watering,  which  do  away  with  the 
antiquated,  familiar  methods  of  horses  and  sprinkling  carts. 

These  consist  of  three  subterranean  concreted  passages,  one  of  which  leads  visit- 
NOVELTIES  °'"^'  ^^  ^  gradual  upward  slope,  to  the  entrance  of  the  grounds  from  the  train 
terminals;  the  second  is  for  the  use  of  the  public  to  reach  the  infield,  so  as  to 
relieve  any  overcrowding  of  the  Grand  Stand  and  lawn,  and  the  third  subway,  situated  about 
midway  under  the  ys'^ile  chute,  is  for  the  use  of  stable  hands  and  tradesmen.  By  means  of 
the  latter  two,  everyone,  other  than  those  whose  duties  necessitate  their  being  there,  will  be 
kept  off  the  surface  of  the  tracks. 

Electrical  wires  have  been  installed  throughout  the  property,  so  that  the  Stewards,  in  their 
official  capacity,  and  in  the  administration  of  their  duties,  will  be  able  to  communicate  with  every 
portion  of  the  Park.  This  applies  also  to  the  starting  points,  no  matter  from  what  portion  of  the 
grounds  the  thoroughbreds  "line  up." 

In  the  present  case,  comparisons  not  being  odious,  and  official  data  having  been  obtained 
by  correspondence,  the  contrast  between  the  Grand  Stand  at  Belmont  Park  and  similar 
structures  in  other  countries  will  prove  of  interest :

A  Yearling  Race. 


A  little  tear  and  a  little  smile  The  little  tear  he  got  the  start ; 

Set  out  to  run  a  race —  We  really  feared  he'd  win 

We  watched  them  closely  all  the  while — ■  He  ran  so  fast,  and  made  a  dart 

Their  course  was  Baby's  face.  Straight  for  her  dimpled  chin. 

But  somehow — it  was  very  queer; 

We  watched  them  all  the  while — 
The  little,  shining,  fretful  tear 

Got  beaten  by  the  smile.

its  second 


all  of  1901  Mr.  Henry  M.  Ziegler,  proprietor  of  the  Columbia  Theatre, 
nati,  ran  and  won  a  race  in  that  district,  with  a  pretty  shifty  horse.  In 
attempt  it  was  beaten  in  very  easy  fashion  by  Hermis.      Both  Mr.  Ziegler 

and  his  trainer,  Charles  Hughes,  were  so  impressed 
with  Hermis's  performance,  and  that  there  was  a 
grand  future  for  him,  that  Mr.  Hughes  went  im- 
mediately to  Lexington  to  see  the  then  owner,  Mr.  H. 
A.  Engman,  from  whom  he  bought  the  animal  for  Mr. 
Ziegler  for  $3,300.  The  horse  was  then  retired  for 
the  Winter.  The  splendid  care  which  Mr.  Hughes 
gave  him,  Mr.  Ziegler  claims,  was  the  means  of 
his  proving  such  a  great  horse  the  following  year. 
He  started  in  the  American  Derby  at  Chicago  in 
1902,  but  getting  oflfvery  badly  was  pulled  up.  Mr. 
Ziegler  claims  he  was  the  best  horse  in  the  race  and 
should  have  won.  He  was  then  sent  to  Brighton 
Beach  and  Saratoga,  winning  every  race  in  which 
he  started  after  the  Derby  (nine  in  all).  After 
his  victory  in  the  Travers  Stakes,  Mr.  Ziegler 
sold    him    to    Mr.   L.  V.   Bell  for  $15,000. 

Mr.  Ziegler  has  taken  to  the  breeding  of 
his  own  racehorses  and  will  add  more  mares  to 
those    he    has    already    purchased. 

He  has  some  particularly  promising  two-year-olds 
at  Sheepshead,  with  which  he  confidently  expects  to 
win  a  goodly  share  of  races  on  the  Metropolitan  tracks.

AUCTION  POOLS. 

Up  to  and  including  the  year   1876,   speculation  was  conducted  • 
altogether  by  the  system  of  auction  pools.     Very  few  of  the  present  gen- 
eration being  familiar  with  its  modus  operandi,  the  following  may  be 
of  interest: 

In  addition  to  the  auctioneer,  there  were  two  assistants,  one  the 
cashier,  the  other  recording  clerk. 

The  auctioneer  invited  bids  for  the  privilege  of  naming  and  pur- 
chasing "first  choice."  As  an  example,  refer  to  the  race  run  in  1870,  and 
for  which  event  $400  was  paid  for  Kingfisher  (who  was  first  choice,  and, 
therefore,  the  favorite,  because  no  other  horse  sold  for  a  higher  figure). 
This  $400  was  handed  to  the  cashier  by  the  person  who  bid  that  amount, 
and  who  received,  in  return,  a  ticket  bearing  the  horse's  name  and  amount 
he  paid. 

The  auctioneer  would  then  ask :  "How  much  am  I  bid  for  second 
choice?"  Foster  and  Stamps  were  both  second  favorites,  or  choices, 
because  they  sold  for  $200  each.  The  pool  was  now  $800.  The  third 
choice  was  Midday,  which  sold  for  $190  (pool  $990).  Of  the  remaining 
three  horses  no  one,  evidently,  thought  any  single  one  good  enough  to 
be  bid  on,  so  Nellie  James,  Eldorado  and  the  Canary  Bird  colt  were  sold 
as  one  horse  and  known  in  turf  parlance  as  "the  field."  This  "field" 
brought  $195  (the  person  purchasing  it  had,  of  course,  three  chances  of 
winning).     Total  pool,  $1185. 

All  horses  being  disposed  of,  that  particular  pool  was  closed  and 
the  auctioneer  began  all  over  again. 

From  the  grand  total  of  each  pool  2>%  was  deducted  for  expenses, 
and  the  remainder  went  to  the  persons  holding  Kingfisher  tickets  in  each 
pool. 

The  above-described  pool  for  the  year  1870  shows  the  following 
results : 

Kingfisher  sold  for $  400.00 

Foster  sold  for 200.00 

Stamps  sold  for 200.00 

Midday  sold  for 190.00 

The  field  (3  horses)  sold  for 195.00 

$1185.00 
Deduct  3%   35.55 


$1149.45 
Deduct  cost  of  ticket 400.00 


Net  profit .$  749.45 

Or  $759.45,  against  $400  (a  little  less  than  2  to  1).

REWARE  OF  UNRELIABLE 
^      BOOK-MAKERS. 


In  the  whole  world  there  are  only  a  few  bookmakers  with  reputations  that  are 
valuable  assets. 

Germany  has  one  or  two;  England  as  many  more;  America  one. 

These  five  are  to  bookmaking  what  Dunlap  and  Knox  are  to  hats;  what  Worth  and 
Redfern  are  to  gowns ;  what  Chickering  and  Steinway  are  to  pianos.  Their  names  have  a 
real  value.  They  stand  for  best.  They  stand  for  perfect  workmanship,  highest  quality, 
durability,  reliability.  They  stand  for  self-satisfaction,  which  has  an  unmeasurable  but  un- 
mistakable value  to  the  owner  of  a  Knox,  a  Worth  or  a  Chickering. 

In  the  United  States  Tapley  is  the  only  bookmaker  whose  name  conveys  to  the  book- 
lover  a  real,  added  value.  This  name  has  been  so  frequently  used  by  publishers  and  agents 
of  The  Century  Dictionary  and  Cyclopedia  and  Atlas,  Jewish  Encyclopedia,  the  Historians' 
History  of  the  World,  Beacon  Lights  of  History  and  other  great  works  that  it  has  come  to 
be  a  guarantee  of  the  best  in  bookbinding.  A  booklover  asserts  that  his  choice  volumes  are 
"Bound  by  Tapley"  with  the  same  satisfaction  that  the  perfectly  dressed  gentleman  displays 
the  label  in  his  latest-block  hat.  He  has  the  satisfaction  not  only  of  knowing  that  the 
materials  are  of  the  highest  quality  and  the  workmanship  above  reproach,  but  also  a  justifi- 
able pride  in  the  realization  that  no  one  can  possess  a  better  bound  book. 

That  these  statements  -are  true  you  may   easily   demonstrate.     At  least  one   of   the 

sets  of  books  above  mentioned  must  be  in  your   library.     Take    one   of    the    volumes no 

matter  which,  for  all  of  Tapley's  work  is  uniform— examine  the  materials  used  in  the 
outer  coverings;  note  how  flat  and  true  the  covers  lie;  observe  the  care  with 
which  the  corners  are  put  on;  the  back  rounded  and  embellished.  Lift  the  covers 
and  see  how  firmly  the  leaves  are  fitted  to  the  binding;  with  what  skill  the  inner 
covers  are  finished.  Lastly,  note  the  ease  with  which  the  book  opens  to  any  of  the 
pages — not  with  that  crackling  which  frightens  you  into  thinking  the  whole  book  is  coming 
to  pieces,  but — easily,  quietly,  smoothly. 

Then  glance  along  your  library  shelves  at  many  of  }-our 

OLD  FRIENDS  THAT  NEED  NEW  DRESS 
and  for  whom — for  old  friendship's  sake — you  would  never  think  of  furnishing  anything 
but  the  best.     Send  them  to  us ;  tell  us  how  you  wish  them  dressed ;  what  materials  shall  be 
used;  what  ornamentation  (your  monogram,  coat-of-arms,    crest,   initials,   name)    we   shall 
use,  and,  in  a  reasonable  time  you,  too,  will  find  pleasure  in  the  assertion  "Bound  by  Tapley." 

Perhaps  3'ou  have  a  manuscript  you  want  printed,  or  a  booklet  you  want  prepared  and  published. 
We  are  equipped  to  make  books  from  the  very  beginning  with  the  same  care  and  skill  that  we  bind  them.

THE  BIGGEST  WIN  OF  MY  LIFE; 

OR, 
HOW  I  BEAT  THE  "  BOOKIES." 

The  barrier  went  np  and  oiif  they  started. 

From  the  rest  of  the  field  a  "dark  horse"  parted. 

At  every  stride  he  went  further  away 

From  the  favorite.     His  backers,  all  in  dismay, 

Saw  him  trailing  behind  in  the  beaten  bunch, 

His  "jock"  whipping-,  spurring,  his  back  all  a  "hunch"  ; 

As  for  me — I  screamed,  shouted  and  yelled 

Like  a  crazy  man,  or  as  one  impelled. 

I  had  2,000  to  10  on  the  one  in  the  lead. 

(More  money  than  I  thought  I  ever  would  need.) 

"Come  on  !     Come  on  !  you  son-of-a-gun  !" 

I  kept  shouting  until  the  darned  thing  won. 

With  eyes  all  ablaze  and  crushed  card  in  hand 

I  rushed  to  the  ring,  to  the  bookmakers'  stand. 

I  stood  in  line,  awaiting  my  turn ;  when 

I  reached  the  cashier  I  said,  "2,000  and  10." 

He  ciuickly  counted  the  yellow-backed  "dough," 

Which  he  handed  me  carelessly,  dontcherknow. 

Wondering  what  I  would  do  with  the  heap — 

I  suddenly  woke  up  from  a  Welsh-rarebit  sleep. 

— John  Goodwin. 


HOW  TO  LOSE  MONEY  AT  THE  RACES. 

ALWAYS  give  more  than  2  to  win  1  on  a  horse,  particularly  if  it  is  very  sure 

to  win. 
ALWAYS  play  two  horses,  straight  and  place  each. 
ALWAYS  play  one  horse  straight  and  another  for  a  place. 
ALWAYS  plunge  on  good  things  (cinches). 

ALWAYS  place  very  little  money  on  a  horse  whose  price  is  anywhere  from 
10  to  100  to  1. 

DO  NOT  limit  yourself  to  an  equal  amount  on  each  horse,  i.  e.,  should  you 
win  $100  or  $200  for  a  $10  bill,  be  sure  that  you  invest  all  your 
winnings  on  the  next  race.

Valuable  Recipes  for  Use  in  Racing  Stables. 


Clear  Soup. — To  two  quarts  of  boiling  water  add  a  pint  of  cold  water.  Let 
simmer  for  at  least  four  hours,  stirring  briskly  all  the  time.  Add  pepper  and  salt 
to  taste.     Care  should  be  taken  that  it  does  not  burn. 

Plum  Pie. — Get  some  dough,  hammer  out  a  front  and  back  breadth.  Line  a 
dish  with  silesia,  put  in  a  veneering  of  dough,  fill  the  dish  with  cough  drops,  put 
on  the  top  crust,  featherstitch  around  the  edges  and  bake  in  a  plumber's  furnace. 

Pound  Cake. — Mix  up  some  flour  and  things,  put  them  into  a  dish,  bake  for 
a  while,  then  screw  in  the  handle,  commence  to  pound  and  serve  before  eating. 

Stomach  Cake. — Line  a  stable  boy  with  green  apples  and  cucumbers. 

Calf's  Foot  Jelly. — Get  a  Chicago  calf — they  have  the  largest  feet — cut 
ofif  the  calf,  which  can  be  used  for  making  hash  or  chicken  salad;  cut  the  nails, 
wash  the  feet,  thicken  with  glue,  add  a  few  molasses;  strain  through  a  cane-seated 
chair,  pour  into  a  blue  bowl  with  red  pictures  on  it;  set  it  in  the  shade  to  get 
tough.     Then  send  it  to  your  mother-in-law. 

Ice  Cream. — Dry  a  piece  of  ice  in  the  sun,  stir  in  some  cold  cream  or  vaseline, 
fan  it  until  it  freezes,  garnish  with  Christmas  greens. 

Hash. — Chop  up  everything,  add  some  ready-mixed  paint,  and  fry  in  a  wash- 
boiler  until  the  potatoes  become  a  golden  brown. 

An  Inexpensive  Dish. — A  five-cent  plate. 

To  Make  Ice. — Procure  a  piece  of  ice,  put  it  in  the  oven  and  reduce  it  to 
water;  put  the  water  in  a  pail  and  swing  the  pail  around  rapidly  until  the  water 
freezes. 

Coffee  Jelly. — Buy  a  pound  of  coffee;  grind  to  a  fine  powder.  Wash  a 
soiled  tablecloth  or  piece  of  unbleached  muslin  until  it  is  thoroughly  clean.  Buy 
another  half  pound  of  coffee  and  blend  with  the  first  pound.  Pour  into  individual 
coffee  cups  and  set  on  ice.  Serve  when  it  becomes  hard.  (For  sick  people  this  is 
an  excellent  substitute  for  calf's-foot  jelly.)  Some  people  add  coffee  to  this,  but 
that  is  a  matter  of  taste. 

Horseshoe  Fritters. — After  making  a  dough,  as  explained  on  page  136,  roll 
out  and  place  on  a  clean  floor.  Secure  a  gentle  thoroughbre(a)d,  lead  it  into  the 
kitchen  and  let  it  walk  over  the  dough,  so  that  it  may  cut  out  pieces  the  shape  of  its 
shoe.    Add  grated  horse  chestnuts  and  bake  in  a  fast  oven  (i :  38  3-5  to  a  mile). 

To  Remove  Stains. — To  remove  fruit  stains  from  a  tablecloth,  saturate  the 
cloth  in  benzine,  kerosene  or  coal  oil,  sprinkle  with  gunpowder;  apply  a  lighted 
match.
